The Community Council was formed in September 2007 and lies
within the Southside/Newington City Council ward. It covers
the area from Grange Road in the north to Kings Buildings in the
south, Oswald Road in the west to Kings Meadow in the east.

The main issues covered to date have included planning
applications (especially for the Kings Buildings development), the
proposed extension of the controlled parking zone (CPZ) and the
future of the suburban railway.Experts on these matters have been
invited to address the CC meetings and 2 public meetings were held
to allow residents to express views on the CPZ extension which were
included in the CC response to this consultation.
